FEM Analysis of the Human Knee Joint A Review

FEM Analysis of the Human Knee Joint A Review / by Zahra Trad, Abdelwahed Barkaoui, Moez Chafra, João Manuel R.S. Tavares.

In recent years, numerous scientific investigations have studied the anatomical, biomechanical and functional role of structures involved in the human knee joint. The Finite Element Method (FEM) has been seen as an interesting tool to study and simulate biosystems. It has been extensively used to an...
